Fluffy hair guide :)

also this is my first time making one of these 😅 feel free to let me know how I did/leave tips

✨Straight to Fluffy: how I do it✨

• Full disclosure, my hair is damaged and fried and I do this to my hair to style it for content and days out, I do not do this to my hair every day! My hair is dyed and is literally type 1A

🧚🏻hair cut:

I have a short wolfcut that my fiancé helps me cut (god bless them) but basically it’s a ton of short layers and then side bangs. I cut my bangs a little on the longer side to compensate for the shrinkage that happens when I style it. The layers in the top of my hair are VERY short, which is scary at first but makes my hair go up and out which is what I prefer.

🧚🏻Hair care:

When my hair was shorter than this and I didn’t heat style it as often I would often forego conditioner and opt to do conditioner around once a month. This is because without the conditioner your hair develops more of a grit to it which helps it build volume and not look so flat. I also used to use sea salt spray with this to help add a little more of a grit as well. Right now my hair is at a point where it’s too long to rely on that so I make sure to conditioner my hair regularly because I rely on heat styling. I use Garnier Fructis conditioner because it contains amodimethicone which is the ingredient used in box dye conditioners that makes your hair SMOOTH AS BUTTER. If you can trust me on one thing its to grab this conditioner, it makes my hair less frizzy, smooth and detangled. I highly recommend finding a conditioner with this ingredient to use if you plan to use this hair method often. I’m also a dry shampoo girlies because i be sweaty and working on a farm, i use colab because its cheap and works fine. 😃 I always let my hair air dry after a quick towel rub.

🧚🏻Hair Styling:

Here’s what you all wanted. 😏 I’ve been experimenting recently with other methods for doing this to my hair including heatless styling so there may be an update later down the road, but for right now, here is my tried and true method.

• I really recommend doing either day or day 2 okd hair, your hair is best when it’s not super clean but not super dirty, right in between is perfect.

1. You’re going to heat up a pair of hair straightners to the temperature you prefer, I just have some I stole from my mom :D You’ll wanna spray heat protectant, brush your hair out and have a hair tie for parting.

2. Your best bet will be working from bottom up and tieing your hair up for sections you aren’t working on. Taking your straightners, you’re going to curl down and then up, so the body of it will be curling out and then flicked up away from your face. Make the flick the most dramatic part if you can. Do this for your whole head of hair.

3. This is THE IMPORTANT STEP, which is hair spray 😏 I use got2b, it is my all time favorite, You’re going to spray your whole head and let it dry. You wanna make sure it’s not like too crusty but definitely enough to hold and put grit into your hair. I usually spray my hair upside down so it hits mostly the ends. After your hair spray is dry you’re gonna take a brush and you’re going to brush it all out. YES I KNOW AND YES IT IS DAMAGING AND I DO IT ANYWAYS FOR THE BRAND. I never said this was a healthy tutorial guys, just ine that works because BAM your hair FLUFFS from this. And after that I usually side part it, might spray a little hairspray if I want or fluff it up/smooth it out with my hands but then I am done!!!

This is pretty decently lasting, it definitely keeps some body throughout the day obvious wind and stuff exists but your hair is going to feel gritty and straw like and that is the intention. It’ll be super lightweight and free moving at first just give it a second to go down and it’s perfect.

I hope you enjoyed this and let me know what else you’d like me to touch on :)
